(4,740 posts)He changed parties? To say, independent. So if you'll indulge me. Most of us think there is no way in hell he wins as a repuke. In my view he would bring his minions along with him, grab some indees and just maybe, maybe (dog I hope not) some corporate DEMS. We all know he is not apposed to shaking the tree
Since we're hypothesizing.
mercuryblues
(16,466 posts)He saw all the love Sinema got from the press, and he wants some of that. It also fits with his burn it all down mentality. He will claim the republicans are now in cahoots with the Democrats against him. He'll take his MEGAts with him, essentially ruining the republican party.
Straw Man
(6,952 posts)Further confirming the adage that everything he touches turns to shit. The GOP will rue the day they ever backed him.

Come 2024 he'll either in jail, still tied up in legal matters, or holed up in MAL and sending out more tweets like this yearning-for-the-glory-years one.

(76,962 posts)...that aside from 100 or so sycophants, nobody is actually paying attention to him anymore.
Even his cult had dwindled to, well, cult scale.

(13,892 posts)Even though we're always laughing at him and ridiculing him he definitely gets plenty of attention. I sincerely wish we'd just totally ignore him.

(76,962 posts)Part of it, IMO, is cathartic, here at DU.
Dorian Gray
(13,850 posts)I know people worry about his FIRM base that is immovable...
but even the most firm republicans I know in my life... people who I grew up with... who voted for him and got angry when he was mocked... are all behind desantis now. They've moved on.
ProfessorGAC
(76,962 posts)I play golf with some guys that would vote for a rock if we put an "R" after the name.
They thought TFG was being mistreated when dems criticized his COVID response.
But, they are tired of him now. They don't want him to run, they think he's a proven loser, and they think his style has gotten old. They actually hold him responsible for the results of this last election.
In fact, one of them has admitted that we could do worse than Biden, and he doesn't blame Joe for inflation.
When he said the "we could do worse" thing, I said "We just had worse from 2016 to 2020." & he didn't argue.
Dorian Gray
(13,850 posts)he's definitely losing his lustre.
And today's announcement (of superhero NFTs? LOL) is not going to win him support back!

(13,850 posts)probs.
She is the heir apparent to MAGA, and she acts subservient enough to him to not offend.
As douchey as Elon is, they probably hate each other. Herschel is done. Not even trump would tough him at this point. And Kyle is just a dumb ass kid making the maga rounds as a grifting 2nd amendment celebrity.

Chellee
(2,300 posts)I can no longer differentiate his insanity from people ridiculing him. I'm certain he posted the text, but did he actually post the graphic with it, or is that someone making fun of his superhero schtick?
Because who in their right mind would post a photo of themselves with the laser beams and the cartoon chest, and oh lord, did he do this himself? Somebody tell me, because I can't tell anymore.

No...that's $99 for each card.
"Fans who buy 45 digital trading cards, which would cost $4,455 before any taxes or fees, are guaranteed a ticket to attend a gala a dinner with Trump in South Florida, the site says."

Beautiful Disaster
(667 posts)Trump is toxic. DeSantis attaching himself to a loser like that all but guarantees his presidential aspirations are over with. DeSantis' best bet is to either wait Trump out to see if he bows out from the race or not run and run in 2028.
Skittles
(172,162 posts)he DESPISES DeFascist
Abolishinist
(2,978 posts)What if his announcement is that he's going to summon DeSantis to Mar-a-Douchenozzle to ask him to be his running mate... this immediately puts him on defense. If he accepts, then the former doesn't have to worry about DeSanctimonious running against him, the campaign dollars will flow once again, and the millions who prefer DeSatan to the former will have a reason to hold their collective noses and vote him another term, knowing that Ron will then be at the top of the ticket in 2028. Of course, he'd have to give up his Florida citizenship, or maybe not.
And if he declines? He'll have to give a reason, and the only good answer is that he's dedicated to being governor until the end of his term. So if not that, then it's a done deal that he's running, and the former will go after him tooth and nail.

Abolishinist
(2,978 posts)someone in his organization will see my post and realize they should solicit me for campaign advice! For example, promote his own line of ketchup!

Dorian Gray
(13,850 posts)but your solicitation for work is pretty on par with it!

a sh*tty comic book featuring him as the hero?
Another way to get a quick little cash infusion from the rubes. As a reaction to how the Dark Brandon character/memes/visuals featuring a powerful Biden have been a strong visual turned against his agenda?
Feels like that based off this goofy-*ss imagery.
muriel_volestrangler
(106,352 posts)Some animator (who was serious about it) did some mock-ups of a series in which he was a "super businessman", in which he and a team of adoring sidekicks (Ivanka was in there, not sure about Dumb and Dumber) would swoop in each week to solve all the problems of businesses - I think one was either a baseball team, or maybe MLB itself. He was, of course, portrayed as a stable genius, fit, healthy man, who was adored by everyone who met him etc. It may have included solving intractable world political problems too.
I've tried to find it, but no luck so far (we did have a DU thread or two about it). It's amazing just how much crud there is surrounding Trump, so when you want to find a particular clod, it's needle-in-a-haystack time. Can anyone else remember it - a name, perhaps?
